Ummm, Justin Bieber Temporarily Unfollowed Hailey Bieber On Instagram: What's Going On?

After roughly 17,000 years of Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber denying divorce rumors, I started to believe the theory myself when Justin temporarily unfollowed his wife on Insta. To be fair, that’s a pretty major statement! This move was completely baffling because two days ago, the singer posted a sweet photo of Hailey and called her “the greatest woman I have and will ever know” in an IG Story. I thought he was Matt James-ing her for a second there.

Justin and Hailey have been married for six years now, and they welcomed their baby, Jack Blues, just five months ago. Before this strange, brief unfollowing situation, there were rumors that Justin and Hailey were having problems when they seemingly fought via their Instagram Stories last December. After re-following Hailey about an hour later, Justin gave insight into what happened… but then he deleted that insight??

So, what exactly is Justin and Hailey’s relationship status right now? Here’s what we know.

Why Did Justin Bieber Unfollow Hailey Bieber On Instagram?

The “Boyfriend” singer unfollowed Hailey around 9am ET on January 21, but she continued to follow him. A little over an hour later, Justin re-followed her and posted an IG Story, explaining what happened. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote. “Shit is getting suss out here.” Shit is indeed getting sus, because Justin deleted that Story minutes later. WTF is happening?? I gotta say, I’m kinda with the folks who are convinced this was a PR stunt to promote Justin’s big music comeback.

There Have Been Justin Bieber And Hailey Bieber Divorce Rumors For A Long Time

There were split rumors back in February 2024 after that bizarre Stephen Baldwin Instagram Story. At the time, Hailey’s father shared a video of Justin singing a hymn and pleaded with “Christians” to “think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection, and to draw close to the Lord.” Yeah, that was definitely a choice and just about the best way to start an ugly rumor. The online community immediately wondered what that was all about and came up with their own theories — relationship problems, divorce, a pregnancy, etc.

The next month, Hailey evidently had enough of the internet reacting to her father’s post. She took to Instagram to shut down people’s theories. “Just FYI the stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong Made out of thin air… Come from the land of delusion…” she wrote. “So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they’re always false xx sorry to spoil it.”

Well, I think these two are good for now since Justin re-followed, but that deleted Story about someone hacking him is very odd…
